17/16/15 days to go...

I just freaked out a little that I just wrote FIFTEEN. Wow.

The last few days in a nutshell:

Breakfasts:
- Friday: smoothie
- Saturday: had the girls visiting from Toronto, so bagels with cream cheese and mixed fruit, with tea
- Today: smoothie

Lunches:
- Friday: leftover flatbread pizza from my Farm Boy date with Leslie, with some greek yogurt and carrots, also half a pint of cider after work to celebrate a prof's tenure (woo!)
- Saturday: mid-afternoon lasagna and bread leftovers from Friday dinner
- Today: Subway (6" roast chicken on whole wheat with baked chips and chocolate milk, amazing post work-out)

Dinner:
- Friday: homemade vegetable low-fat lasagna, mixed green salad and fresh bread (with the girls!). We had wine and a few two-bite brownies for dessert, as well as some of our host's apple crisp later that night at a wine and cheese
- Yesterday: leftover lasagna and bread
- Today: guess what...more lasagna

Workouts:
- Friday and Saturday: none, busy with the girls (although, we shopped and walked around quite a bit...does that count?)
- Today: 75 minutes advanced yoga. totally kicked my ass, but totally amazing.

We're onto the last few weeks now so doubling my efforts to cut the carbs and up the cardio. I made homemade ginger carrot soup (Jamie Oliver's recipe, can't go wrong) for this week. Here is the recipe:

Also, I'm getting stupidly excited as the girls got me an early birthday gift of a gorgeous white H&M beach bag and flowy flower dress! Thanks ladies!!! On our shopping trip I picked up some tops from RW&Co (my absolute favourite store of all time), as well as a cute turquoise and white bikini from Old Navy of all places. All I need are flip flops, a hat and some last minute item gathering and I'll be ready!!

Maldives, here I come!!
